End of the week. Beginning of summer {not officially}. Starting week 3 of 24 on Reta. I'll post results tomorrow to see if any weight has been lost.
Right now juat keeping up with the McGill prehab work as always, but also adding in the curl ups on the floor (usually I skip those), plus daily CurcuPrime usage on lower back (and left...
I am failing to understand why we don't have a link for this place. :) You holding out on us?
CGP is getting up there, I am sure it is cool working up over 200 on it.
Thanks
Yeah, I’m excited to get the new equipment in but especially that shoulder press machine. And like you said it can help spare the shoulder joints. It just seems like all the plate loaded...
450 sounds pretty plausible as something you’d see commonly. 540 is definitely trained powerlifting in highschool, which isn’t particularly common (but definitely does & is possible),
It is...
my boy just texted me a video of him absolutely crushing a 405lb squat ass to grass today, 6 days after turning 17. If he wants it, the high school record will be his for the taking next year.

Just realized I missed an entire 2 months of updates.
Damn, Thats crazy. I just started a round of peptides.

Weight: 209.2
Trap Bar DL Max 1x465
T-Bar Row 3x5x120
Cable Shrugs 4 sets
Leg Curls 2 sets
DB Curls 4 sets
The DL was a little more hingy at that top max than I meant to, so 455 is more accurate...
HS shoulder press will be a nice addition! I find that more neutral grip on a lot of exercises for me these days just feels better on the shoulder joints.
thats great advice, and its not even that humbling, its just honest driven adaptation. Goals should be measurable and attainable. There is no reason to set the bar and something we did 20 years...
Clint Darden said his coach advised he reset his PRs every decade. This reframes expectations more deliberately, so you can make smarter choices to enjoy your strength training & health instead of...
Yep, exactly…. I had benched 235 for 6 and last month on my third week I had put 235 on for the one rep and got 5 with about a 2-3 RIR, but that’s the most weight I’ve put on for bench since 2024...
and you sorta become each others cheerleaders and accountability coaches. instead of getting lost in 30 minutes of quality bs talk, its <looks at clock> "Ok homie, you rested? thats x minutes. you...
Yeah, I'm trying to track both objective and subjective measures to get a good picture overall. Right now I'm using fibit's daily readiness and sleep scores as objective metrics, and my own...
While I love the convenience of working out at home, this type of push from the gym bros is the environment I miss from working out at a commercial gym. Just following others push and that nudge...
Thanks man; I appreciate that. Sometimes I get discouraged thinking how far away I feel from a PR, but it’s important to remember where I began and how far I’ve come. I’m grateful for the...

So a few pics, have tubs filled with compost and dirt mixture, don’t have it all quite done like I was planning but going to probably have to make do for this year. Got the composter set back up...
I feel like we have had the fish oil talk before but I still take the stand that SFH is the best for EPA/DHA content, and while Barleans is one of the worst for EPA/DHA content, I also tend to...
